The version of Vista I use, running IE7, cannot download .exes. My XP
computers, running IEs 7 and 8, and once 6, have never been so
irritating. (i'd say my faith in vista is dwindling, but it was never
there to begin with.)
I've tries to download many a .exe. This time, for reference, it's
Ventrilo. Certainly not a shady program - trusted by supposed millions.
When prompted, if I click Run, the file appears to download, but when
it has finished, the dialog box disappears and nothing else appears.
Ever.
When prompted, if I click Save, the file appears to download, but when
it has finished, the dialog box disappears and nothing else appears. Not
even the file, at the location I saved it.
There is no error message. There is no message of any sort. Repeated
attempts to download do nothing.
Renaming the download to .ok, or some other name (in anticipation of
renaming it to .exe once downloaded), as suggested in a previous thread,
does not work.
I have tried temporarily turning off certain securities, to no avail.
However, if you have -any- suggestion, please go ahead.

Try a different browser like mozilla firefox.

SUPERAntiSpyware is worth a try as well.
After the software is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in Safe
Mode.
SUPERAntiSpyware just put up a Online Safe Scan at
if you cannot install and/or run the current SUPERAntiSpyware product due to
an infection.

Usually when you download an exe file it loads into Documents,
Have you looked there?

Right... let me just download it first.
/sarcasm
Please, can someone direct me to the options that fix this issue? The
previous poster's "solution" was of no help...
Still searching,

I was able to circumvent this problem by creating a -new- Windows User
and using the Firefox that appeared on -that- account to download, and
allow all users to run the program.
Apparently Firefox comes with Vista, and was deleted from the account I
was trying to download from? I don't know, I don't prefer Vista - just
reporting in that _the_problem_was_solved_. (Sure, it's a bit of a weird
workaround, but at least I can download.)

Try a system restore.
